This works fine, create directory press enter or left mouse on new directory text to create and select directory,
OK button to confirm selected directory and continue to next script action, or Cancel button to abort._________________Carolina:Recent Repository Additions

Unfortunately, sort of yes.
I'm happy with the script code, as the rest of my script makes use of $RET_DIR.
My problem was with yad version 0.38.1, where the "Enter" key failed to do what I expected when using the "Create Folder" button in the select directory dialog.

Problem solved:
The "Enter" key works as expected in both yad version 0.36.3 and the recent 0.38.2.

I see that some people are using YAD 0.38.2. I have upgraded too, from 0.36.3, but I think 0.38.2 bombs X11. Twice already I clicked a yad --entry dialog button and X11 crashed. The first time I found myself back at the console prompt, and had to restart X manually. The second time X restarted automatically. All this happened on Fatdog64-710.
My script involves closing the yad dialog with "kill -USR2 $YAD_PID", but I'm not positive this is connected to X11 crashing.

I am using the same version (0.38.2) and have not experienced your problem in Tahr, so I don't really think it is a "version" problem. I compiled YAD myself for Inetl and for my Raspberry PI. This runs fine on my various machines:

thank you. I'm using kill -USR1 in a similar fashion. I also don't think anymore that it's a "version" problem, because the X11 restart just happened again, this time with yad 0.36.3. I need to investigate further what's going on._________________Fatdog64-721|+Packages|Kodi|Findnrun|+forum|gtkmenuplus
